UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[BITCOIN4X]

Both conditions will not be met in my opinion so chance for Lazio to be champion is zero, risk for Napoli to lose it is zero too. To conclude, Napoli will be champion of Serie A 2022 - 2023.

Because Lazio will not be able to win all their 11 games and Napoli will be able to win at least 5 more games that is a max required win matches to take the title if Lazio win all 11 games. If Lazio win less than 11 games, Napoli will need to win less than 5 more games to be a new champion.

I'm sure the analysis is good on the possibilities that can still be expected, but I'm pretty sure there aren't many opportunities that Lazio can take advantage of because Napoli in this case are very close to securing the title.

Okay, let's return to the topic of the Champions League, hopefully the discussion isn't too off-topic. Napoli vs Milan, it's an amazing game for the Champions League. I think Milan's performance this season has been underwhelming in Serie A, while Napoli are the favorites in the Champions League. If Napoli and Inter are the two teams most likely to reach the semifinals then I can really think of one of them going to the final this season.

[Balmain]

I don't think anyone has any doubts that Napoli will eliminate Milan. Besides the fact that Napoli has a better squad than Milan, they are more in shape side with high morale. They want to win everything this season. Milan players' this season performances have been hugely disappointing, except Giroud, Leao and Tonali. On the other hand Napoli have talented young star players who are on the transfer list of every major team. Milan's history may be bigger, but their current situation matters most. Napoli will pass quarter final like a walk in the park.

They will pass Milan very easily. As far as I can see in the league, Milan is having a hard time against other teams in the league. There is no team that Napoli has difficulty with. They can easily beat all of them one after the other. Milan is a great team with deep-rooted past victories, but everything matters in its time. An easy match for Napoli, I don't expect a different result. I'm more curious about what will happen next. They don't stay where they can go very far.

The AC Milan team is not strong this season. The team has been weak this season and their performances have been erratic. They are fighting hard to stay in the top four of the points table. Even so, it doesn't seem possible for them to finish in the top four of the table. They have not won in the last three matches. On the other hand, Napoli is playing well in every match. More importantly, Napoli's players are still very confident.

Napoli will play a home match against AC Milan in Serie A before facing off in the Champions League. I guess Napoli will not give their full effort in this match. Because Napoli will not face big problems even if they lose points in Serie A. But Napoli will definitely win the Champions League match.

[ShowOff]

Of course I accept the results of the UCL draw, it's only limited to my wish that the teams from Italy don't meet before the semifinals. To be honest, I didn't expect much from Milan achievements in the UCL this season, but being in the quarter-finals has been very satisfying for me, because Milan current players are different from the level when AC Milan was a strong team in the UCL under Ancelotti.

Considering that Napoli are the most consistent Serie A team, I think Milan will really face big problems when they face them in the Champions League. I think it's true that the quarter-finals are Milan's best achievement this season, but for something higher I think it's something that would be very surprising. Since Milan were draw to get Napoli as their quarter-final opponent, that's when I thought that failure would be easy for them.

Everything really looks in favor of Napoli, since Milan have not looked the best lately, I even doubted if they could beat Tottenham. By the way, on April 2, Napoli and Milan will play in Serie A, it will be a good rehearsal, but only this match will be in Napoli, and the teams will play the first match in the Champions League in Milan. Napoli is the clear favorite, but anything can happen.

Since they are already in the quarterfinals, they won't want to take any of these clubs lightly. Most of these big clubs have good players who strike well when it comes to goals, talk of Haaland, salah Benzema and osimen like this are players who have made a name and still perform very well. Of all the clubs that qualified for the quarterfinals, clubs that won't go far are Milan, Benfica, and Inter compared to the big dog Manchester City, Bayern, Napoli, and Real Madrid.

[Jackl87]

We know Napoli is a stronger team than Ac Milan because they got better results in Serie A and they are the first team with a huge difference from AC Milan while in the last game, AC Milan had they lost the game against Udinese in Serie A games with a 2-1 result while the only goal they scored was from a penalty kick not in-game, and three goals is a lot for a team like AC Milan, I guess with this bad defense power, AC Milan will have problems against Napoli.

I don't follow the Italian Serie A so i can not really say if Napoli or AC Milan is the stronger team at the moment, but looking only at the table then i think it is pretty obvious that Napoli is by far the strongest team in the league in this season and the gap to the second best team is almost 20 points, which is a huge amount. So i think it is safe to say, that Napoli is by far the strongest team of the italian league at the moment and therefore also the big favorite in the match against AC Milan in the Champions League.
Napoli has a huge chance to even advance into the final of the Champions League, because they are in the easy bracket with Inter and Benfica.

[jayce]

At a time when most people are waiting for the match between Manchester City v Bayern Munich and Real Madrid v Chelsea, but I personally really look forward to Benfica's progress at this moment. Playing against Inter and for me Benfica still has a chance to be able to win and qualify for the semifinals and then, in the semifinals maybe Benfica will play against Napoli and again I personally feel Benfica can do their best.

Because after all, this season in the Champions League Benfica has gone through difficult times and in fact Benfica was able to go through well by beating PSG and also Juventus. Therefore, I feel that Benfica still has good abilities if it only plays against Inter and Napoli.

Actually I also expect Benfica to go to the final and it would be the most hilarious moment in UCL this season if that really happens, which Benfica will beat all of remaining Italian teams to make their way to final. Napoli obviously is their biggest problem, but who knows, anything is possible in UCL.

AC Milan are bigger European Competitive sides than Napoli especially when it comes to the Champions League football, they currently have bout three to four Champions League, but with current form, whoever writes Napoli off is simply cynical.
They're the best side in the world the most consistent side who have scored more goals and conceded lesser too, they have shown desire and dedication from the back on how they're just focused on winning alone.

If it finally comes to the Champions League next round, I'm not giving a final conclusion on who wins but then, I'm backing Napoli to knock Ac Milan who struggled to get three points against Udinese.

[SquallLeonhart]

Ancelotti puts the best at the moment and if no one better than Modric, Benzema, Kroos and Vinicius, then it's the club's problem that he spent the transfer campaign that way. Ancelotti squeezes the maximum out of the squad that he has, most of the players are already old and nevertheless, in principle, Real Madrid can fight to the end if they want, but they can't do that in every match. The same way to beat seemingly outsiders is not easy and that's why sometimes such strange losses to 1-0 happen to Real.

Barcelona had a much better transfer campaign which resulted in a lot of young players who can keep up with the rapid pace of the game, playing both in La Liga and the Champions League, and then in the Europa League. Hence the result in the championship, but Real can still win the Champions League and then Ancelotti can also buy good players if he is lucky.

I would agree that they are still the best even at that age, but they are a level that is hard to catch, it is not other players problem that they are not as good as Modric for example, not many people in the world could be better than him, there are like maybe 10 names you can count, probably not as many.

This is why it is going to be him as long as he keeps this up, but we all know eventually he will get too old and stop playing this well and he will retire, so they need to be ready for that anyway, and they have amazing midfielders for that position as well. Their midfield is not an issue, they locked that in with young players, they need defenders and one striker, that's their future issue, specially striker.

[Google+]

I agree with you, I think so too. Real Madrid must change their coach. And I think the position of central midfield must be filled by several new players who are relatively young, to replace Toni Kroos and Luka Modric who are over 30 years old.

As we know, most players over the age of 30 are not as good at playing football anymore, especially when dealing with Barcelona players who have midfielders who are still very physically strong like Gavi.

I think this is what made Real Madrid different this season from previous seasons.

Yes, Real Madrid should be able to make a bigger transition in the middle sector in the next summer window because logically it will not be possible next season for Toni Kroos and Modric to perform more optimally because both players are already old but they can still make a big contribution but Their physical condition is relatively decreasing due to age factor.

So, the name Bellingham continues to be associated with Real Madrid and many even predict that Bellingham is the right person to replace Toni Kroos. we will see the opportunities that real madrid has in the next summer transfer window, I think a lot of changes will happen to the real madrid team.

Manchester City are going to have a really serious test in this stage. Leipzig wasn't a very serious challenge for them to be honest. Yeah maybe the first leg finished very unexpectedly. But Guardiola knew what to do after that and we just saw Manchester City playing their usual game in the rematch. This brought about a huge victory and Haaland put on an incredible show at the same time.

Haaland is the key player for the Champions League title as well this season. Bayern Munich is one of the biggest obstacles for them. If they manage to eliminate them most probably they will have a draw against Real Madrid. It would be interesting to see another Manchester City vs Real Madrid matchup after watching the last one in the previous season. 

[safari88]

4 nice matches in the quarterfinals. And yes, City did not hit it with the draw, but of course not Bayern either. But that those 2 would meet each other was inevitable. Perhaps also nice that it is not the final yet. Benfica is also priced by many people, but Napoli has shown much more than Benfica so far in this tournament? Napoli may have a slightly lower level than City, but it has enough chances to get the final in every gauge. And then you can look further from there.

[emrecemsan]

Milan can't stand a chance against Napoli. That should be obvious already I think. Because Milan are already struggling with the same issues. They are still bad at defending their opponents most of the time. They had a time period in which they kept a clean sheet and it made me really hopeful for a second. But like I said it didn't last long. Milan returned to the same look very quickly. I don't know what is wrong with them exactly. They haven't made a big change in the squad either.

It is just hard to understand the reason behind this performance. Teams like Liverpool and Chelsea are also having a very inconsistent season though. Sometimes big teams really can't make things working smoothly for them.

Judging by Manchester City's standard and how they've played good football this season it will be easy to say that they're going to beat Chelsea whoever emerges as their semi-final opponent as well. They have a very clinical and lethal striker in Erling Haaland who has been banging goals for fun this season and he's not even showing any sign of slowing down at the moment

But champions league football is different from domestic league football and if carefully analysed we all know that Chelsea knows how to play in the competition better than Manchester City does and that's a reason why I think it'll be disrespectful to Chelsea as a club to totally write them off going into that tie

If their performance is still the same as in the Serie A, then it is absolutely true that Milan's chances of winning against Napoli are very small. Especially with their inconsistency. This is not a sure thing, but at least so far Napoli has been playing very well and consistently. it was just bad luck if they lost later. Milan is actually also a big club, but the problem is in their poor performance for the most part this season.

Every day strange things happen in football. This thing are enough to give us reasons not to doubt the football possibilities. Liverpool in EPL we're doing exceptionally great after winning Manchester united, but meeting a club like zbobemouth who is already close in relegation zone.
What I'm saying in essence is that Bapoli can wake up not to see this match in their favor . AC Milan is also a well known giant team in Italy.

The champion league offers a totally different atmosphere all together and plus the fact that football is a game of strange and wonderful wonders, I wouldn't be surprise if Milan knocked out Napoli even with this poor form, I mean same thing is happening with sevilla in the Europa league , in the Spanish LA liga they are the worst team when its comes to performance but when the atmosphere is change they are beast and will defeat any opponent.

I think saying Milan can't stand a chance is a bit too harsh as a pre-game assessment. I agree with you that it is not looking very promising for Milan, but we have seen some surprises this season already not only in the Champions League, but also in the Europa League. Nobody would have thought that Braga can stand a chance against Arsenal in two games.

Last season it was Villareal against Bayern Munich. There haven't really been surprises in this season in the Champions League, but there is still some games to go. Sometimes games take some wild turns and weird events happen, like a goalkeeper makes a huge mistake or even receives a red card because he makes a bad move in the first 20 minutes. If both play their best, I agree that Napoli is going to make it.

This is an important aspect that many people do not understand about the Champions League; it is a different league that is played differently by each team without taking their performance in the domestic league into consideration.

When Chelsea was drawn against Dortmund, many people overlooked Chelsea's superior performance in the Champions League compared to Dortmund's superior performance in the domestic league. In the end, we saw Chelsea triumph over them despite losing the first leg match. Experience counts in this league, which is why it's called the League of Champions.
